It's quite rare to run across Gene Vincent singles in decent condition. I guess there are a lot of Rockabilly fans out there hoarding 'em. This is a beautiful copy of Vincent's first and biggest hit, featuring pristine Mint sound. This is the version with the "small" Capitol logo; a rarer variant has a "large" Capitol logo. Curiously, this was a non-album single. Note: This copy comes with a vintage Capitol Records sleeve. The A label has a light stain, lowering the Label grade to a strong EX (see scan). The vinyl grades Near Mint with just a little light scuffing, and the audio sounds pristine... simply awesome!
